41-Year-Old Gerald, a military veteran, was one of the three officers killed by a lone gunman in Baton Rouge on July 17. The widow kissed her husband goodbye at his funeral on Friday. Earlier in the day, she held her daughters close as she prepared to lay her husband Matthew Gerald to rest after a service at the Healing Place Church.
Mourners at the church were handed a written tribute from the slain officer's wife before the funeral, in which she expressed hope that his memory will 'bridge the gap and foster peace in the country he lived, loved and died for.'
'My blue-eyed rock was a hero,' she wrote. 'The only thing stronger than his love for the red, white and blue was his love for us.'
